These tiles are manufactured in two sizes: ¾ in. (2 cm) square (1) and 1 in. (2.5 cm) square (2) and are available in a range of muted, earthy tones. They are identical on back and front faces, making them ideal for working in the indirect method, and they also have crisp, square edges that lend themselves to cut-piece work. Tile nippers cut them easily, although paler colors may be more likely to shatter. They are available in random mixes of loose colors (3) or on paper-faced sheets. They can easily be soaked off the paper for cut-piece work or laid sheet by sheet for large plain areas. They are also available on mesh backing, but this is not recommended for external locations.
